Introduction. 


N coming before the public with our Kighth Annual Catalogue we do so 
I with the kindest regards for those who have so well sustained us with 
their patronage from year to year, and with no little satisfaction and sense 
of pride that the merits of our goods have enabled us to retain the good will 
and favors of so large a host of friends through the hot fire of competition. 
During the past year we have been obliged to greatly enlarge our works and 
to put in new machinery in order to meet the increased demands for our 
goods. There also has been located in our city one of the finest equipped 
Rolling Mills in the country for making Steel and Iron Sheets for roofing pur- 
poses. This will interest our trade as it enables us to obtain the finest quality 
of sheet right at our door, thus saving us the expense of shipping raw material 
and enabling us to fill all orders, special and otherwise, promptly. We have 
tried to illustrate in this Catalogue the different uses of iron and stee] for 
building purposes, and hope we have not failed to show that we are keeping 
abreast with the enterprise of the times. We ask your careful perusal of its 
pages. 
Assuring the trade that we propose in the future, as in the past, to sustain 
_the quality and reputation of our goods and soliciting your favors, we are 
Yours truly,

CROWL’S PATENT STEEL ROOFINC. 


This roofing is suitable for all classes of buildings, especially Factories, 


Mills, Elevators, Sheds, Barns, Fair Buildings, Cotton Gins and Railroad 


Buildings It has become popular all over the country for these purposes ~ 


and noted for the following qualities : 
1st. It is made of the finest material, viz.: Pure Steel. 
2d., The buckle, which is in all sheet metal, is taken out by our patented 
process. 
3d. Each sheet being fastened separately and securely, and buckle being 
taken out, it does not rattle on the roof. 
4th. All expansion being provided for there is no bulging by heat. 


5th. The caps are formed on the sheet and are part of it, so they cannot — 


get loose and blow off like separate caps. 

6th. ._ It comes all ready to lay and hence can be laid rapidly. 

7th. The sheets being held together by cleats as well as to the roof, there 
is no punching or riveting and no nail head to rust by being ex- 
posed to the weather. 

8th. Taking quality into consideration it is the cheapest metal roofing 
made to-day. 

9th. It is handsome, fire proof and very durable. 


KIND AND QUALITY OF MATERIAL USED. 
We use only one kind of material for our Crowl’s Patent Roofing, viz. : 
Pure Steel. It is very tough and pliable and can be bent either way of the 
grain without cracking, making it peculiarly adapted to this style of roofing. 
- In weight it is what is called Standard Gauge or our No.’ 26 and will weigh, 


when laid, about 80 pounds per square. This is heavy enough for any pur- 


pose where a Standing Seam Roofing can be used. Quality is more to be con- 


sidered, when selecting a roofing, than weight. Weight adds to its cost without — 
corresponding value, as the Standard weight will last two generations if cared — 
for, and heavier would do no better. Where a heayy roofing is needed 
to lay on rafters without.lath or sheathing, our heavy corrugated iron is 


recommended. 


SIZE OF SHEETS. 


Each sheet of steel when made measures 24x 10linches. This is the only 
size we use for Crowl’s patent. It is easily cut to fit any size of space and the 


sheets are locked together by turning ends and hooking them into each other | 
and hammering down the joint. All pieces are used and no waste occurs. We _ 


allow for the seams and one inch*on ends for locks and give six sheets for one 


square. 


HOW SHIPPED. 


We put it up securely in crates so as to protect it in transit. Each crate : x, 
is marked with number of sheets. We always send along with it enough cut. 
cleats to put it on, free of cost. Ngils and paint are charged for when fur-_ 


nished. When ordering give full shipping directions and specify all you | ‘ 


, 


want sent with it. 4 (avi

TOOLS. * 


To put on Crowl’s Patent Roofing it requires a pair of common tinner’s 
snips, end turner and pair of tongs for closing up the seams or edges. If 
needed we loan these for first bill and then if party desires to keep them for 
future use we will sell them at the following prices, viz.: Tongs, $2 per pair ; 
Snips, $1.75; End Turner, 50 cents. If returned it is very important that the 








name of party returning them should be written on card attached to them, in 
order that we may know who to credit. If tools are sent with roofing shipped 


©. 0. D., they are added to bill and when returned we refund the price less 


the express charges. The shipping expenses should always be prepaid on tools 


when returning them. 


FOUNDATION FOR ROOFINC. 

Crowl’s patent roofing can be laid on sheathing or laths. Sheathing, 
even of poor rough boards, makes the best foundation. Where laths are used 
they should be put from 6 to 8 inches apart. Werecommend using felt under 
the roofing to protect it from all moisture, hot air or steam. We keep it in 
stock and can furnish it at a cost of 25 cents to 33 cents per square, 


PITCH OF ROOF. 


Crowl’s patent should not be laid on a roof having a pitch flatter than 13 


inch pet foot; } or 4 pitch is preferable for any style. For flatter than 1} . 
inches to the foot see our Plain Rolled Steel, page 10, or Rolled Capped, page 12. 


DIRECTIONS FOR LAYINC CROWL’S ROOFINC. 
When the roofing is received it has the edges all turned and the ends 
snipped ready to turn for the end locks. The ends are turned with an end 


- turner. Turn the end slitted slanting up and the other end down. When ° 
commencing first course turn one of the edges down to fit down over the 


weather-board and nail it, so as to keep the wind from getting under. The end 
at the eave should be turned down and nailed to the eave board. Before 
putting cleats on the edges, close the seam up close. Drive the nail in 


' the cleat up close to edge—not driving the nail off at the end of the cleat; the 
closer the nail is to the edge or seam the better it will hold. Fasten end by 
- driving nails into the ears of the upper end and also fold a cleat into lock and 


nailit. Lock the ends of sheets together and hammer the lock down solid 
with mallet. _When comb is reached cut off the sheet one inch longer than 


roof, as this inch will be needed to make the comb. The piece cut off use to 
- commence next course with, thus preventing any waste of material, and also 
wa breaking joints. The cleats on the side should be put about one foot apart 
i These cleats are long enough to bend back over the outside sheet, thus hold- 
ing the sheets together as well as to the roof . When laying the opposite side 
of a ridge roof the sheets should be cut off two inches longer than the roof 


in order to finish the comb, as the ends of one side lock into the ends of the

FELT UNDER ROOFINC. 


We recommend the using of felt under the roofing and are selling a good 
deal of it now for this purpose. It protects the roofing from all gases and 
acids, moisture, hot air and steam. Also during frosty weather it prevents 
dripping when the frost is melting. It is inexpensive, the best costing only 
from 25 cents to 33 cents per square. We keep it in stock. 


ADVANTACES OF STEEL OR IRON ROOFING. 


Over Shineles—Shingles are not what they used to be when they 
were made of the clear hearts of timber, when it was plenty and cheap; but. 
now timber is scarce and more valuable, and shingles are made of sapling 
limbs or anything that can not be used for anything else, and the consequence 
is they only last a few years. And a wooden roof is simply a fire tinder, 
ready to catch fire by the first spark, and the great majority of houses are 
destroyed from fire catching on the roof. Insurance companies will insure 
buildings much cheaper haying steel or iron on them, 


Safety from Lightning—Read what scientists say regarding this 
established fact : 

Prof. Mitchell says: “It is impossible that a building covered with iron 
should be injured by lightning; the large surface of the metal scatters the 
electricity and renders it harmless.” 


‘Mr. Merriman says: ‘‘Few persons realize the protection afforded dur- 


ing violent thunder-storms by shelter in a building covered with iron.” 


The large suriace of metal scatters the force of the bolt, and in our ex- 
perience we have never knowna building to be destroyed by lightning having 
on one of our roofs. 


Over Slate—Good slate is very costly, and is so heavy, (weighing 600 
pounds to the square,) that it requires an expensive structure to bear it up. 
Slate will also crack by freezing and from the heat of burning buildings near 
it, and it is very hard tomend. It often causes a building to spread or settle 
out of shape by its weight. 


Over Tin—The weakest parts of any roofing aré its joints, and the more 


a0) joints the weaker the roof.. Tin coming in small plates it has about eight 
— times as many joints as steel. In order to compete in price with steel or iron 
_ avery poor quality of tin is now used, with a very thin coat of tin or lead 


on it. It does not hold paint as well as steel, and therefore they get out of 
repair so often that there are many more leaky tin roofs than steel 
oriron. Tin has to be laid on tight sheathing, which adds about $1.00 per 
square to the cost, as steel can be laid on laths.

DIRECTIONS FOR LAYINC PLAIN ROOFINC. 
- WHERE CAPS ARE TURNED ON SHEETS, 

Unroll and cut off Roofing length of roof, allow an inch of comb on one 
side and two inches on opposite side, as shown by cut No. 3, page 7, and 
an inch or more for turning down at eaves. Commence at end of roof and 
turn down edge of Roofing, and nail it to face or weather board so as to keep 
wind from getting under, then turn up the other edge one inch with tongs, as 

shown by man B in cut No. 8; then anchor it by nailing cleats about 
eighteen inches apart. Drive nail close to edge of Roofing, as it holds much 
firmer than if driven an inch or more from edge. Turn up edge on next 
course two inches and bring it up close to the one inch edge, and turn it 
down oyer it to form cap with foot seamers, as shown by man D in cut 
No.8; then turn the end of the cleat over all and close up all tight with 
tongs, as shown by sample. 

Comb, Hip and Valley made same as on Crowl’s Patent. (See pages 6,7). 

For directions for laying when Separate Caps are used see page 12. 


FOUNDATION AND PITCH. 

This style should be laid on sheathing. If laid on lath they should not 
be put over six inches apart. Can be laid on roof having a flat pitch, as 
one-half inch to the foot. It is used generally on flat roofs, as our Crowl’s 

_ Patent is much easier laid on steep ones. 


TOOLS. 


To lay Plain Roofing it requires a pair of Tongs, a pair of Snips and Foot 
_ .Seamers. This we loan to put on first order with. If party decides to act as 
* agent we will send the tools at actual cost, viz.: Tongs, $2.00; Snips, $1.75 ; 
Foot Seamers, $4.00. If Separate Cap is used only ‘Tongs and Snips are 
needed. When returned all express charges must be prepaid and sender’s 
name on card, so we may know who to credit when they come into our office. 


TRIMMINC SENT WITH STANDINC SEAM ROOFING. 


We always send cleats frce of charge. With separate cap roofing we 
always send cleats and caps free of charge. 


NAILS AND PAINT. 


The old custom of putting in nails and paint free of charge is done away 
with by all the best companies. It is no advantage to the buyer for the seller 
.to try to make it appear he is making a present of nails and paint, for no one 
can give something for nothing, and the cost of these are either added to the 
- price of roofing or the quality of the material is reduced this much. We 
charge for nails and paint as per price list. It is much better for customers 
 toorder mixed paint. Dry paint is of very little value of itself. The trouble 
and cost of hunting up proper oil and dryers to mix it with is more than the 
_ mixed paint costs. Besides, very few know how to mixit properly. We mix 
ours by machinery and get the very best possible mixture. We recommend 
sg all our customers to order mixed paint with roofing.

___ both sides, red one side and slate color one side, and red one side and pea 
green one side; the slate and pea green colors for the outside. It makes a 
: very handsome ceiling, especially for offices and store-rooms. After it is laid 
it can be painted any color desired, and a coat of varnish adds to its appear- 
ance. One edge is perfectly trimmed and squared, and this edge should al- 
‘ways be used on the outside lapping, over and covering up the long edge. 
We keep in stock 6,7, 8,9 and 10 feet sheets. It weighs 75 pounds per

Corrugated Iron. 


« 





We make all our Corrugated Iron on the latest improved press machine. 
This method insures uniform corrugations and perfect edges and joints, 
which can not be accomplished by passing sheets through rolls. We have 
used rolls and know whereof we speak. If you want perfect edges and joints 
use Pressed Corrugated Iron. We paint it on both sides with best oxide iron 
paint We use from No. 20 to No. 27 gauge and keep a large stock of the stand- 
ard gauge on hand all the time.

for roofing. We always ship this size for roofing if no sizes of currugations are 
specified.

thirteen corrugations in each sheet. Full width, 26 inches; covering width,

This is a very desirable size for Siding. ; 




































































No. 15. 


This cut shows our 1}x?$ inch Pressed Corrugated Iron, painted both 
sides. Full width, 25 inches; covering width 24 inches lapping one corru- 
gation, or 22} inches lapping two corrugations. This is used mostly for Sid- 
ing and Ceiling. she 

We paint this three colors, viz: Red both sides, red one side and drab 
one side, and red one side and pea green one side. The drab makes a hand- 
some Siding, and the pea green a nice color for Ceiling. We charge twenty 
cents per square extra painted drab one side, and thirty-five cents per square 
extra painted pea green one side. 

Regular lengths of all our Corrugated Iron 6, 7, 8,9 and 10 feet. We can 
cut these and give half lengths of any of these sizes. Where odd sizes are 
wanted, such as say 8 feet 5 inches or 8 inches, we will charge for 9 feet sheets, 
unless it is for a good-sized order and parties can wait for two to three weeks, 
so that we can have it rolled to sizes wanted. We have no sheets longer than 
10 feet. When ordering Corrugated Iron give sizes of surface to be covered, 
so that we can send the best lengths. 


How to Bevniate Amount and Cost of Corrugated 
Iron. 
First select the best lengths of sheets to fit the space, bearing in mind the 
end laps. On Siding one inch end lap will do, while for roofing nothing less 
- than three inches, and if a slight pitch, six inches, for end lap. As each sheet 
lays just two feet wide, it is a simple matter to ascertain the number of sheets 
necessary to cover the space. Then estimate the number of feet in each 


sheet as follows: 
AY 6 feet long, 13 sq. feet, lay 2 it. wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. 


ok 7 feet long, 154 sq. feet, lay 2 ft. wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. 
; 8 feet long, 174 sq. feet, lay 2 3 wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. 
eae 9 feet long, 194 sq. feet, lay 2 ft. wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. 
AS 10 feet long, 213 sq. feet, lay 2 At wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. 










_ When necessary we can cut sheets in the middle and give half sheets of 
any of the above lengths. When we cut to odd inches, say 7 feet 9 inches, 
_ we charge for an 8 foot sheet, unless we have two or three weeks in which to 
_ fill order, so as to have the sheets made odd sizes. While the sheets only lay 
2 feet wide we measure them 26 inches wide, as we allow nothing for laps. 

This rule only holds good for Corrugated Iron, as .we allow for side laps and 
a seams for all Standing Seam and Crimped Edge, and Beaded Roofing, Siding 
Bi by Ceiling. |

flange of 6 inches when cut, (see cut No. 19,) and space on side of 
chimney for water to pass down. Form the edges so as to fit in corrugations 
of the Roofing. See cut 19. Fit the piece behind the chimney aud run it up

HOW TO MAKE VALLEY WITH CORRUCATED IRON. 


If there are valleys in roof to be covered with Corrugated Iron, take a 
piece of Plain Steel 27 inches wide and fit it into valley and nail edges. Cut 
the ends of the Corrugated Iron to same angles as valley, and lap it over the 
valley piece 6 inches.

HOW TO LAY CORRUCATED IRON. 


Commence at eave if for roofing and Jap the ends from 3 to 6 inches, 
Sides are usually lapped one corrugation, although some lap two corruga- 
tions, which, of course, is better, but more expensive. Be sure and lay each 
sheet straight in line with each other. Comb is finished, as shown in cut 
No. 35, page 25. If there are hips and valleys, finish them as shown in cuts 
Nos. 20 and 21, page 18. Nail Corrugated Iron, every other corrugation on 
ends and every 8 to 12 inches on sides. Drive nails in top of corrugations on 
roofing. Siding laid same, only ends may not lap over one inch, and drive 
nails between the corrugations instead of on top.

OUR PATENT CRIMPED EDCE ROOFING, 


mt 


This cut shows a sheet of our Patent Crimped Edge 
Roofing. Unlike all other makes of Crimped Edge Iron, 
ours has two small crimps in center of sheet, dividing the 
sheet into three sections of 8 inches each. These crimps 
are same as in Crowl’s Patent Steel, and for the same pur- 
pose—to take the buckle out of the sheet and to add 
strength and beauty. These center crimps are not as deep 
as the edges. The end locks can be turned. Triangular 
wood strips are used in edges, and ends can be lapped or 
locked. The best way is to lock ends. We furnish a lit- 
tle tool for 50 cents with which to turn ends. Made of 


















































standard boxed annealed iron, weighing 75 to 80 pounds 


per square. 










































































































































































The above cut shows our Patent Crimped Edge

THREE-CRIMPED ROOFING. 


The annexed cut, (No. 27), shows our Three- 
Crimped Iron. The middle crimp, same size as edges,” 
and a wood strip goes in it. This is a good style to 
use in a very windy place, or where the building is 


exposed to a good deal of wind. 











Rules of Measurement 


ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL IRON ROOFING 
ASSOCIATION. 


We sell all our Roofing, Siding and Ceiling by the square, and not by the 
pound, and follow the following rules: 

CROWL’S PA’TENT. 

We allow for the seams and one inch on each sheet for end locks, and 
give six sheets 24x101 inches (size after made) for one square, 

PLAIN ROLLED. 

We allow for the seams, and give a roll 50 feet long and 27 inches wide 

(it lays 24 inches wide) for one square. 
HUREKA. 

We allow for the side seams and give six and one-fourth sheets 2x8 feet 
(size after made) for one square. 

ROLLED CAPPED. 

We allow for seams and give roll 50 feet long and 26} inches wide (it lays 
2 feet wide) for one square. 

CRIMPED EDGE. 

We allow for side lap. and give six and one-fourth sheets 2x8 feet (size 
after made) for one square. 

BEADED IRON. 

We allow for side laps and give six and one-fourth sheets 2x8 feet (size 
after it is made) for one square. 

CLAPBOARDS: 

We allow for side laps and give six and one-fourth sheets 2x8 feet (size 
aiter it is made) for one square. 

CORRUGATED ‘IRON. 

As no uniform rule can be made for lapping Corrugated Iron, as some 
lap sides two corrugations, and ends four to six inches, while most men lap 
sides one corrugation, and one inch lap on ends for siding will do, therefore, 
we make no allowance for laps, and measure the sheets full size after they 


are corrugated. 
CRIMPED BDGE CORRUGATED IRON. 


No allowance for laps. Same measurement as Corrugated Iron.

ROOFING RED. 

The base of this paint is a metallic oxide of iron mixed with pure linseed 
oil and proper dryers. When applied it flows easily from the brush, leaving 
a glossy surface which exposure hardens, making a surface which is practical- 
ly a coating of iron, possessing all of its durability, and which will not crack, 
chalk or scale. This paint is of special value as a coating for Metal 
Roofs, Iron Work, Bridges, Brick Walls, Fences, etc. 


IMITATION SLATE. 

This paint is manufactured from a gray mineral closely akin to powdered 
slate. When applied upon a shingle roof it not only gives it the appearance 
of a slate roof, but arrests all decay and effectually preserves the iron from 
the destroying action of the air and water. It is a handsome gray shade of 
paint, and can be used for Ceilings, Siding, etc. 


| PEA CREEN. 

The base of this color is a combination of lead and zine, tinted with pure 
colors to produce the shade. This shade is specially adapted for ceiling work. 
Very handsome effects may be obtained in a room by using this color on the 
celling and coloring the side walls in harmony. 





TRON WORK. 








Wstimates given and contracts taken for fur-= 
nishing and erecting Iron Frame Work and cov=

BEST JOB OF ITS KIND THEY EVER SAW. 
Cambridge, Ohio, January 24, 1890. 
Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: 

Dear Sirs—It is with much pleasure and satisfaction that we enclose here- 
with draft for $2,343.46 in settlement for roofing placed on our building. ‘The 
work has been done in a first-class manner, and being judges of such matters 
we do not hesitate to say that it is the best job of its kind we have ever seen. 

Yours very truly, 
THE CAMBRIDGE IRON & STEEL CO., 
Per A. Beard, Gen’l Manager, 


DECIDED IT WAS THE KIND THEY WANTED. 
New York, N. Y., January 30, 1890. 
Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: 

Gentlemen—Ship us at once 120 squares Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing, to 
Orange, New Jersey, same as the last 350 squares. . We are very well pleased 
with the roof. It looks fine since we have finished and painted it. While we 
were putting it on four different parties visited the building for the purpose ot 
seeing the roofing, and they decided then and there that it was the kind of 
roofing they wanted. The above order is the result of one party’s decision 
and we expect to hear from at least two of the other parties. We do not un- 
derstand how anyone, having once seen your roofing, can help using it if it is 
their desire to get something better than tin at a less cost. . 

Yours truly, 
ie HEDDEN & CAIRNS. .- 
JOIN IN PRAISING IT, 
Drexel Building, Room 330, Philadelphia, October 31, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio : 

Dear Sirs - Replying to your letter of October 9th would say I am very 
much pleased with your Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing material, having puta 
roof on in which I am interested, and believe I have put the best roof on in 
the market. I have had an experience of roofing more than one hundred 
buildings, and carefully looked into all the roofs now on the market before I 
concluded to use and adopt yours. I can cheerfully recommend it to anyone 
needing a good roof. I have also the assurance of other practical builders 
and architects to whom I have recommended it, and who, after using it, join 
in praising it. Very truly yours. D. H. KENT. 


SIMPLICITY OF CONSTRUCTION. 
‘ Philadelphia, November 2, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: 

Respected Friends—After a careful examination of the various kinds of — 
steel and iron roofing on the market, we have selected your Crowl’s Patent 
Steel Roofing for covering our branch factory at Anderson, Ind., which re- 
quires about two hundred squares. The quality of material, the simplicity of 
construction, &e., we believe more néarly fill the several requisites for a — 
metal roof than any we have examined. Hoping our order will arrive in — 
good time, we are, Very truly, PHILADELPHIA QUARTZ CO. ~

WILL ALWAYS USE YOUR GOODS. 
Fort Wayne, Ind., December 17, 1889. 
Messrs. Pfeiffer & Schlatter, Fort Wayne, Ind.: 

Gentlemen—After giving the question how to roof some barns and 
houses that I proposed building this summer, I gave you an order for one 
hundred and twenty-seven squares of Crowl’s Steel Roofing, and for one hun- 
dred and forty-four squares of Corrugated Iron to cover the sides of the 
building. My buildings have just been finished, and I send you herewith 
the photograph of one of the barns that I built, which equals a rectangular 
building 206x388 feet with 24 foot posts. I intend next year or the following 
one, to build another wing to it, when it will be in the shape of a T, covering 
a space equal to 272 feet by 36. While, of course, I do not know how long it 
is going to last, I believe, at the present time, that I could not get so good a 
roof for the same amount of money of any other material. The men who put 
it on the building say that the steel and iron were both of a very fine quality, 
and any person who has seen any of the buildings that I have built say that 
they present a very handsome appearance. If I had more buildings to build 
I would use Crowl’s Steel for roofing and Iron for the sides. 

Yours respectfully, T. E. ELLISON. 


NO INSURANCE. 
Fostoria, Ohio, December 16, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: 

Gentlemen—The inclosed photo shows our storage house, which is cov- 
ered with your Roofing. The B. & O. elevator burned within fifteen feet of 
our building, at which time we had over $20,000 worth of agricultural imple- 
ments, carriages, etc., on hand, without one dollar’s worth of insurance 
Hence we have reason to recommend your Iron and Steel Roofing. 

Yours respectfully, SELBY & MOMPER. 





WIND AND RAIN HAVE NO EFFECT. 
Auburn, Ky., December 3, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co.: 

Dear Sirs—Your Roofing came as ordered. Was put on more easily than 
any the workmen had used. It has stood as hard rains and penetrative 
winds as we have in this climate, and remains, perfectly secure, so far as I 
have been able to ascertain. We regard it the best roof we have had. 

Yours respectfully, A. McCARLEY., 


4 SOLD OVER 4,000 SQUARES. 
‘ . San Antonio, Texas, January 18, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: 

Gentlemen—Since the commencement of 1885 we have handled iron roof. 
ing and siding. Formerly only sold Corrugated and Crimped Edge. Finding 
our trade in this line improving daily we were also induced to try Crowl’s 
; £ Patent Roofing, and we must say that wherever we have sold Crowl’s Patent 
it has given universal satisfaction, and has continued to make us new friends 
and customers, and in consequence we have more than trebled our sales. 
We have sold over 4,000 squares, especially due to the improved quality of 
the Crowl's Patent Roofing, and would recommend the use of it when a first- 
class roof is wanted. Will need another car soon, as the one lately received 
is about sold. Yours truly, PIPER & SCHULTHESS.

CROWL’S PATENT THE BEST. 

Arkansas City, Kas., December 18, 1888. 

Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio.: ‘ 
Gentlemen—The Crowl’s Patent Roofing we bought of you for our new 
factory, 40x100 feet, is O. K. We got samples of roofing from all the leading 
companies in the business, and finally decided yours was the best, therefore 

ordered it, and it is proving entirely satisfactory. 
Yours truly, F. H. PLUMMER M’P’G CO. 


iY VERY SOFT AND TOUGH. 
Montpelier, Vt., January 13, 1888. 
Cambridge Roofing Co.: 
Gentlemen—In reply to yours of the 10th inst. I consider the quality of 
your Iron Roofing equal to any in the market, and very much superior to 
most of it. I find it very soft and tough. The sheets full size, with true, 
well-shaped edges. I want the sale of your roofing the coming season. I 
think the demand will be greater for that kind of covering than it has been 
the past season. F. BLANCHARD. 


WILL SUPERSEDE WOOD ROOFS. 
Endfield, Mass., November 27, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: 

Dear Sirs—In reply to your favor of the 22d would say that I wanted 
something better for roofing than anything I could make or buy in the line 
of shingles, so decided, after examining several kinds of metal roofing, to give 
your Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing a trial. It is pow on my buildings. It has 
been tested by severe storms, and is not found wanting in any particular. 
We laid it on bay-windows, over hips and in gutters without a fracture in 
any case. It is very easy to apply, and will surely supersede wood roofs 
largely when its merits are understood. The man who puts his money into 
Crowl’s Patent Standing Seam Roofing invests it wisely. 3 

Yours respectfully, A. Jc: NOR WARD. 


AHEAD OF ALL OTHERS. 
Janelenc, Lewis County, W. Va., November 4, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co.: 

Gentlemen—Your Plain Rolled Pure Steel is the best Roofing that I ever 
handled. It has good weight and is very tough and pliable. I have used it 
for nearly two years, and would say it is ahead of all others that T have tried. 
I use no other, for yours is good enough. 

Very respectfully yours, J. L. HARDMAN. 


BEST WE HAVE EVER STRUCK, 
Ronceverte, W. Va., October 31, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co , Cambridge, Ohio : 
Gentlemen—We pe sold the Crowl Patent Roofing for some time, also 





your plain Steel Roofing. We like the latter very well, but consider the — 


former the best patent roofing we have ever struck. We have tried the roof- 


ing made at three or four different points, and this year put the Crowl’s paf-osss 
ent on the new county buildings, in competition with them all, as the con-— ~ L¥ 
tractorsjhad‘tried all the others and say this is the best they have ever tried. oN; 


Weare “always g glad to recommend any goods we find really first-class.

best of satisfaction. We have covered the Orphan’s Home at this place with 
this roofing, and it is pronounced by the best critics to be the best roofing on

spring, and we are positive of getting the job. We are expecting a large 
trade in your Crowl’s Patent Roofing the coming season.

Lanesboro, Susquehanna Co., Pa, June 3, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co.: 
Gents —Please ship me eight squares plain Steel Roofing, dry paint, nails 
and cleats for same. Ship to Lanesboro, Susquehanna county, Pa. Builders 
here seem to think that the Cambridge Roofing is the best goods in the mar- 
ket. Several companies have sent their goods here at a low price during the 
last year, and nearly every one expresses themselves as dissatisfied with their 
roofing. But the Cambridge Roofing that I handled gives the best of satis- 
faction. Iam going to take off some Cincinnati iron and replace with this 
order, so please fill order as promptly as possible. 
Respectfully yours, JAMES LOVELACHE.

NO ONE SORRY FOR USING CROWL’S PATENT. 


Edenboro, Erie County, Pa., January 14, 1888. — 
Cambridge Roofing Co.: 

Gentlemen—!It gives me pleasure to recommend your Crowl's Patent 
Standing Seam Roofing to the public. I have used about five hundred 
squares of it during the last two years. I have had to compete with the 
cheaper styles of roofing on thé market, but when the fact became known 
that your roofing was the only one having the buckle taken out of the sheet, 
and the only one having two full caps on each sheet, so that each standing 
seam is four thicknesses of iron, and that it makes no difference which end of 
the building you commence to lay it, it was preferred to the common styles 
of roofing, which was being offered at a less price. No one will be sorry for 
using your Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing. ISAAC VANTASSEL, Tinner. 


DO NO BETTER THAN TO PURCHASE BEADED IRON. 
; Decatur, [1s., November 11, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: 

Gentlemen—We would state that we certainly think that for our use, or 
where parties desire to cover a building with some material so as to protect it 
from the weather as well as fire, that they could do no better than to pur- 
chase your beaded iron. We have some that has been on. our elevator ‘*B” 


for seven or eight years, and itis, to all appearances, as g 


put on. We will want considerable more of this iron at a near date, so as to 


finish covering the balance of our new elevator. Wishing you success, we 


are, Yours truly, SHELLABARGER MILL & ELEVATOR CO.

WILL STAND THE WIND. 
Fostoria, Ohio, Jan. 11, 1888. 

Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, O.: 
*  Gentlemen—In reply to your favor of the 9th, will say we are well satis- 
fied with the (300) three hundred squares of Crowl’s Patent Roofing we have 
put on our works the past ninety days. Our buildings are exposed and have 
been subject to several storms, which have not interfered with the roof in the 
least. We do not regret using your roofing, and when we extend our works 
will no doubt use more of it. 

Yours respectfully, J. A. HIGBEE, See’y. 


EX-GOVERNOR CHARLES FOSTER HIGHLY PLEASED WITH IT. 
Fostoria, Ohio, Jan. 12, 1888. 
J. E. Annis, Secretary, Cambridge, Ohio: 

Dear Sir—The Mambourg Glass Co. and the Butler Art Glass Co., both 
of this place, used your Crowl’s Patent Iron Roofing on their structures. 
We have used it but a short time, but as far as we can see, are highly pleased 
with it. Yours very truly, CHAS. FOSTER. 


THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST. 
Mercerville, Gallia County, Ohio, January 5, 1889. 
Cambridge Roofing Co.: 

Gentlemen—Since the commencement of 1888 I have been selling and 
putting on your Crowl’s Patent Roofing, and I find that it gives universal 
satisfaction. Here is what some of my customers say about iby: 

B. H. Suir: “I like it better than tin. I have tin and Crowl’s Patent 
both on the same building. It is as far ahead of tin as tin isahead of shingles.” 

W. D. Granam: “Ilike itsplendidly. I think it is the best metal roof out.” 

|, H. Wavan, Waugh Landing, Gallia County, O.: “I have twenty-four 
squares on my barn. When Saunders came to me I got a sample of the 
metal and compared it with all other makes in the county, and could get 
other roofing for less money, but the quality was lacking; therefore, | 
took Growl’s Patent at $5 00 instead of sheet iron at $3.40.” 

As a contractor and builder I think your Roofing inthe lead of all others. 

Yours truly, JACOB W. SAUNDERS.

~ Cambridge Roofing Co.: 
Gentlemen —This is to certify that I have used Crow!’s Patent Iron Roof- 
ing, manufactured by you, and find it superior to the Separate Cap Roofing, 
_ which will in time get loose and blow off. I find that Crowl’s Patent Roofing 
i a ives entire satisfaction in every particular, where used and put on properly. 

‘It makes a much better appearance than the plain roofing, as it has two cor- 
; rugations through the center, taking the buckle out of the sheets, preventing 
e on the roof. _ Yours truly, WILLIAM HERMAN.
